Timo Werner re-joins RB Leipzig until 2026

Timo Werner has completed a permanent transfer back to RB Leipzig from Chelsea. The German spent two years with the West London side, winning the Champions League with them. And now, he has signed a four-year deal with his former club. 

The Premier League side have agreed a fee worth £25 million plus add-ons for the striker. The forward expressed his frustration over game time during the pre-season tour in America, especially since it was a World Cup year. And so, he has sealed a move back to the Bundesliga where he was one of the top goalscorers before leaving

‘See you soon, Timo.’

Following the departure of Timo Werner, Armando Broja is the only natural centre-forward in Thomas Tuchel’s squad. Chelsea will either have to sign a new striker, or continue with Kai Havertz out of position as a 9, while Broja tries to break into the squad.
